the important changes in human life caused by
the industrial revolution?

1) change of the lifestyle: people whose ancesters lived in rural areas moved to the cities and towns (urbanization), 2) very fast change of the lifestyle (in the case of European industrial revolution). This radical change took place with 1-2 generations which had very bad consequences on mental health of European population.

Explanation: Industrial started in England already in 18th century, but lated was spread also to European continent. Industrialization means automatically urbanization. These two changes took place very quickly. Rural people wanted to adopt bourgeoise lifestyle and earn more money so they moved to cities and towns and worked in factories. It had a very devastating influence on them and their children.  Freud describes that succintly in "Unbehagen in der Kultur" (1930). Probably the worst (the fastest) it was in Germany.
